This
haveli was built about 300 years ago and a part of it is still occupied. Salim
Singh was the prime minister when Jaisalmer was the capital of the princely
state and his mansion has a beautifully arched roof with superb carved brackets
in the form of Peacocks. The mansion is just below the hill and it is said
that once it had two additional wooden storeys in an attempt to make it as
high as the maharaja's palace, but the maharaja had the upper storey torn
down.
